Vero Beach Art Club
Winterfest 2023
Winterfest, previously called Festival of Trees, is the Riverside Theatre’s signature fundraising event. Members of The Vero Beach Art Club participate in the benefit by volunteering to create ornaments and decorating a tree that will be auctioned off at the Gala on December 1st - 3rd.
THEME FOR THIS YEAR’S TREE: Seas and Greetings
Each year we participate in Winterfest and each year and we need ornaments. This year we are asking members to make ornaments in the form of painted cutouts of fish, starfish, sea fans, octopus, turtles, etc. The club will supply cutouts, plastic balls, scallop shells to be decorated by members. Members can pick one up from August 1st to November 1st at the Gallery & Marketplace. We will also hang any creative undersea life ornaments you may create on your own.
WE APPRECIATE ALL VOLUNTEERS WHO MAKE ORNAMENTS
Whether you’re entering into one of the shows requiring volunteer hours or already in the spirit of giving, we appreciate your support. Finished ornaments can be dropped off at the Annex Monday - Friday from 11AM - 3PM. Please include a business card with your finished piece if available. Your volunteer hours card will be signed when you drop off your ornament(s).
